Jorge Lujan's Personal Goals as a University of Phoenix Student

The University of Phoenix (UOP) offers many academic challenges that once viewed will open the door to many new and exciting goals to be achieved. These new goals vary in areas from academic skills, group interaction skills and the ability to put theory into practice. Achievement of these skills makes me a sellable employee and student in today's challenging job market and upper learning institutions.

Nexflex gives me the ability to develop a method of adapting old skills and into new ones that will assist with future employment and educational organizations as they transform with technology too.
